Has anyone found that the traffics from social bookmarkings aren't really quality ones? Well, it was the case for my site anyway... Does anyone know the trick to get "quality traffics" using social bookmarking? :helpsmilie:

There are lots of traffic generation strategies that you will be able to use.

but i know a really smart way. There are people over at the dp forum offering their service and will add you to the top social bookmarking site for like 2 dollars....just get them to do this and when they sent a report of all the sites they added you too keep that list and next time you have a website, viola.... you have some good bookmark sites to add your site too. Works Great!

MOst of them are usually of high quality!

hope this helps.

Stumbleupon is the quickest, but you just need to make sure what you submit is worthy of other people giving it the thumbs up.

Very sound advice.

yeah digg works so well these day, especially if you can cause some contriversy or shock people....just a little bit of clever thinking can do this and go a long long way.

Hope this helps you. Here is an article that lists 45 ways, in which you can get traffic to your website. Most of these ways can be done freely.

articles are gunna work the best, post one a day and after a while watch as the traffic storms in

stumble upon, reddit, digg type of social bookmarking sites can help you surely.

What has consistently works and has been working for a while now is article writing. And blog posting. They are free and bring in the largest amount of traffic consistently.

use video marketing..this is technique that i use to generate more than 600 visitors a day..

you can submit any video to youtube, metacafe etc...then put your blog link into the video...

Yes, video marketing sounds great.

Except one needs videos. Which requires a video camera, and at least a free editing software, and one must know how to operate both.

Which requires a topic to record.

I read the post on the "kid uploading a thousand vids"... What could you have in a 1,000 videos?!?

use competitions too...you have a better chance of people coming and entering your comp....why?

PEOPLE LOVE MONEY!

Yes you offer people money for nothing and they will jump and every chance to sign up. I have had some smaller successes with this but remember that you traffic and list mightnt be as targeted if you do this but its still a great way to get traffic and create a buzz.

You had already some great suggestions, however remember if you dont want to invest, it'll take much longer for you to start up....It takes money to make money and money fructifies by itself...If theres no money, its hard for it to start.

Good question – how we can do without money?! My advice is - in no circumstances attend to the link exchange as it was advised by some participants of this forum. Their posts have been written in 2006 and since then many things have changed. I communicated with one Google employee some time ago and he precisely has told me that Google objects to link exchange. This bad attitude has been realized by autumn of 2006 in practice! Any search engine likes one way links and certainly appreciates links from considerable sites! So get friends in CNN or BBC and several links from their blogs will bring you happiness!

Writing keyword rich articles on the subject and submitting them to the article directories that google loves such as ezinearticles.com and the like will give you a nice start in your traffic goals. It does the dual job of bringing you traffic from the articles directly and also gets your site indexed by Google really fast so that you can get organic search results bringing visitors to your websites. Don't forget to use the right keywords in the text links to your website in the resource box of your article.

Here is my check list for promoting your site for free:

Submission to SE's and directories
Article marketing
Email campaign
Forums, blogs and board postings to targetted audience
Social Bookmarking
Etc. etc.

Focus also on providing great content as this helps in organic/natural link building - when other sites link to your site

Sounds like a plan i should follow. Thanks

Lol, you can check out my trial. Sorry had to, was wide open. I'll behave...

Wow, there sure are a lot of great ideas up in this thread. I don't have too much to add, but here's another idea. After you write your webpage article then submit it for free to reddit. I think reditt has a good PR too. I'm too new to post the reddit url.

what sites do u suggest to get traffic?
